Will Project Blue Book continue? Recently, executive producers Sean Jablonski and David O’Leary spoke with Syfy Wire about the future of the cancelled History TV show.
Inspired by the personal experiences of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aiden Gillen), the drama series is based on the real-life, top-secret investigation into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related activity, conducted in the 1950s and ’60s by the United States Air Force. The cast also includes Michael Malarkey, Laura Mennell, Ksenia Solo, Michael Harney, and Neal McDonough.
Even though History has cancelled Project Blue Book, Jablonski and O’Leary are shopping a third season to other networks and platforms. During a recent episode of Syfy Wire’s Project Blue Book podcast, the two EPs discussed their efforts to save the show and their season three plans.
From O’Leary:
We’re fortunate in that everybody involved remains committed to trying to find our show a second home, and to continue. We feel it’s unfinished. And I’m sure our fans feel it’s unfinished.
We pitched [HISTORY] Season 3 because we actually had a [writers’] room going, and we broke episodes,” O’Leary shares. “What’s so hard for us is that it’d just be such a shame for our fans to not know where it’s going and where we can continue it to go because we’ve already done all that heavy lifting.”
And what are their season three plans? Jablonski says Quinn will be involved:
Obviously, we’re gonna bring Quinn back in early on. He’s an integral part of the show. And I think something important to remember is that UFO sightings peaked worldwide in 1954. It was a global phenomenon.”
Jablosnki also added that if season three does not find a home on TV, there’s always the chance of a graphic novel:
Here’s the thing, we’ve moved so far beyond our Season 2 that we’ve also talked through Season 4. The characters are so great. I could see a version of a book, of a graphic novel, or like a smaller Quibi type version that investigates certain cases.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Project Blue Book? Do you want a third season?
Great show !
Yes there should be a 3rd yr
I love watching project blue book.i will be watching on whatever network carries it.
I have followed this show from the the first episode until the end of season 2. This is a great show with great actors, high-quality programming. I am very disappointed that they cancelled the series, one of the few good ones on lately. This fan hopes they bring it back, crossing my fingers.
I really enjoyed the new Project Blue Book. I am old enough to have watched the original tv series – some years ago.
I hope you can find another channel to pick it up.
Please continue as many seasons as possible. Live the show and need more questions answered.
Please, please universe find a supportive home for Project Blue Book. I am disappointed that History Channel would drop that show and leave us with Skinwalker Ranch. I am looking forward to a positive landing for season three of Project Blue Book!

I watched project blue book faithfully. And I’m dissapointed that we are left hanging . I’ve seen this done so many times that it bothers me . Please bring back project blue book or at least have a suitable ending . I got hooked on a few series and saw the rope pulled out from under us. It’s not fair.. I’ve had to sign up to other sites (Hulu and Netflix) because someone decided to pull the plug.. I am getting to believe that it’s a con game. Get people hooked, pull the plug, then put them on a channel… Read more »
